Hair loss affects about 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone. Over 40 percent of men will notice hair loss by the age of 35, while 65 percent of women see hair loss by the time they are 60. It’s fair to say that very few enjoy this hair loss. Solutions to hair loss are nothing new. The NeoGraft solution is a revolutionary, minimally invasive way to transplant hair which is the only permanent solution to the problem. The advantages over the traditional methods for hair transplant, which leaves a large scar in the back of the scalp, are numerous.
With the NeoGraft System, the hair follicles are removed from the back of the scalp, but without the invasive excision of hair containing scalp. This older technique requires either staples or sutures to close the wound. This usually results in a painful recovery time and a vertical scar on the back of the head, often visible. It also leaves the scalp with numbness. Still it is a common procedure and if well performed, can result in permanent, natural appearing hair.
With the NeoGraft, there is no excision, thus no scar, staples or sutures. The survival rate of the hair follicles is higher, thus the hair growth is thicker. The time to perform the procedure is greatly shortened and typically as much as 2,000 grafts can be transplanted. A NeoGraft graft contains up to 3 and sometimes four hairs, so this would be up to 5000 actual hairs transplanted.
Patients who have had the traditional manual technique and returned for the NeoGraft robotic hair transplant have said that the NeoGraft system is a night and day improvement in recovery, less pain and the lack of a scar.
The bottom line for the patient is:
- No scar
- Minimal pain
- Minimally invasive
- More hair survival (less hair transaction) thus thicker hair
- Shorter procedure
- Minimal recovery time
The NeoGraft Procedure
The hairs in the grafts will remain visible for 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure, and then they will fall out, leaving the dormant bulb under the skin for 6-12 weeks. A new hair then grows from the bulb with significant hair growth in 4-6 months and a full hair growth in 9-12 months. The patient is awake and alert during the procedure and may eat, drink or listen to music. Post transplant instructions will be given along with medications and shampoo. There is usually no bandage. Patients will be able to shampoo their hair the next day and resume normal activity in 2-3 days. Tiny crusts may form where the grafts have been placed and usually shed in 4-7 days. Most patients over 50 are satisfied with one or two procedures. Younger patients may need more procedures if they progressively lose more hair.
Cost
The cost is per graft, each graft containing from 1 to 4 hair follicles. If the patient requires 1,000 or more grafts, the cost per plug is $7. Thus, for 1,000 grafts the total price is $7,000. This exceeds the cost of the traditional manual technique, but the hair survival is increased, so the price per transplanted hair may be similar. Fewer grafts may cost more per graft, as some patients only require a few hundred grafts.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am with my new look after having a hair transplant. Although it’s only been a few months, I can see the hair growth and thickness where I had no hair. I haven’t involved my self in swimming or water skiing for years because of the way I looked. I can see light at the end of the tunnel regarding my sports and I couldn’t be happier. The procedure was essentially painless and there was no need to take time off from work. Thank you.
